Question by Livabetes give me sugar dizzies: Why should those with diabetes wear shoes all the time?
Earlier today I read an article about shoes and the different problems with different kinds of shoes.

I can’t find it anymore, which is why I didn’t post the link.

But in the article, it said that someone with diabetes or would likely eventually get diabetes should never go without shoes; whether inside or outside their house.

Why would that be? Thanks for any help in understanding this.

To protect our feet from getting little cuts that won’t heal. Maybe a splinter so tiny you barely feel it, until it’s infected.
A diabetics feet & legs doesn’t heal as a normal person’s does.

Why do diabetics have to remove their shoes and socks? I don’t know much about diabetes and I am curious.
